James Binns, (born Leeds, 1817), and his wife Ann Longbottom, raised a family in Turkey. His great grandson Victor Middleton Binns collected much information about his relations, including connections in South Africa. Although the copy I have of Victor's documents is barely legible in places, I have attempted to add the pertinent data and details to the web site.
Any comments, corrections, or additions will be welcome.
Don't forget that most of the interesting information about individuals is revealed when you click on "notes"
